Thanks all. And it is nice to see a fellow Finn here on the forum. I thought I was the only one here, since this thing is really marginal in Finland. But I guess there are few after all.

I have been working on the filly on my 1k now for maybe 10 hours bread-knifing it and mainly setting a new bevel and profile. Hard work, the blade is really slow-wearing. The way things look it will also take a while on the 6k so maybe a 2k or 4k would a good investment. Although after you have gotten the razor once to shave ready, all the coarser stone are pretty much useless.

I think carter had some good points in his razor videos. And maybe I would have got better results if I would have dealt with razors before, but I would definitely not recommend his techniques to a beginner. Just my thoughts though.
